when your vacation turns into a hospital stay
I planned a little getaway to another state, thinking it would be a nice break. Of course, there was no direct flight, so I had to deal with a layover. I don’t know about you, but layovers always seem to go wrong for me. This time, my one-hour layover dragged on for five hours—so much for a quick trip! After nine hours of travel, I finally stumbled into my hotel, exhausted and starving.
But the real fun started that night. Out of nowhere, I got hit with the worst stomach pain I’ve ever felt. I ended up in the ER, where they handed me some basic stomach meds and sent me back to the hotel. Three hours later, the pain was even worse, so back to the hospital I went. Turns out, it was appendicitis. So instead of sightseeing, I’m stuck in a hotel room in a strange city, recovering from surgery. There goes my vacation budget—and my plans.
Has anyone else had a trip go completely off the rails like this? I can’t be the only one who’s ended up trading tourist spots for hospital beds. I’d love to hear if anyone else has had their vacation plans totally hijacked by something unexpected.
